Redhill is a small rural village in the Telford and Wrekin borough in Shropshire, England. It forms part of the St George's and Priorslee civil parish alongside Central Park, Priorslee, Snedshill and St George's.

History

The village was historically a Roman settlement, before later being used as a settlement for trading points and residential. During the Roman period, it was a strategic point near Watling Street. It later became part of the wider Telford and Wrekin borough. It also lies close to the Staffordshire county border with Shropshire at Weston Park. Additional nearby towns include Shifnal and Newport.

Present day

Redhill retains much of its rural character with small developments occurring to the west of the village in nearby St George's and Priorslee.
